Summary:
The third in a series of experiments in close proximity, BRIE was located in hole U10cc in area 10 of the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The first experiment (JARLSBERG) was conducted about four years earlier while the second experiment (NORMANNA) was detonated about three years earlier. The diameter of the emplacement hole was 2.18 m and the depth-of-burial of 203 m placed the working point in alluvium about 100 m above the Paleozoic contact and nearly 300 m above the static water level. BRIE was detonated on June 18, 1987, at 08:20 PDT. All phenomena appeared normal with a chimney collapse broaching the ground surface about 17 minutes later. The mean radius of the resulting crater was 54.1 m and its maximum depth was 10.3 m. No radiation arrivals were detected above ground and containment was satisfactory.
